SLIPKNOT was nominated in both “Best Rock Album” (“.5: The Gray Chapter”) and “Best Metal Performance” (“Custer”) categories at the 58th annual Grammy Awards, which was held on February 15 at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
“.5: The Gray Chapter” sold 132,000 copies in the U.S. in its first week of release to land at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 chart.
SLIPKNOT singer Corey Taylor has confirmed that the band is considering writing and recording a double concept album to follow “.5: The Gray Chapter”.
SLIPKNOT percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan said recently that he would love to see the band record a double concept album in the vein of PINK FLOYD‘s “The Wall” and THE BEATLES‘ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”.
“.5: The Gray Chapter” was released in October 2014 following a six-year hiatus during which founding SLIPKNOT bassist Paul Gray died and original drummer Joey Jordison was dismissed.
